Comments

Returns after one month following an eighth at Ohi, where he was beaten just over eight lengths at big odds and simply did not quicken. The run prior at Hakodate was also plain, finishing 12th in a Mdn after giving away a big start. Weight relief and a class drop are some help, but he is unplaced from seven starts and has yet to place around 1800m, so a sharp lift is required.

Comments

Returns after two months since a sixth at Sapporo in a Mdn over 2000m, beaten two and a half lengths after sitting in touch and working home only fairly. Her previous fifth at the same venue was similar, as she was handy but could not finish it off. The class drop and race fitness are positives, but being unplaced from ten starts and six tries at this distance leaves her with a sizeable task.

Resumed with a strong third at Hanshin, beaten just over a length after holding a slender lead and fighting hard before being claimed late. That backed up her Hakodate Mdn win, where she drove late to beat Meisho Rose by two lengths at generous odds. With one win and one placing from three tries around 1800m, plus the light weight, she sets the clearest standard and is the one to beat.

Comments

Returns after three months off having finished fourth at this venue, beaten just over three lengths in a Mdn where she settled rearward. She had also run fourth at this track the start prior after being well found in betting, though she did not finish it off. The overall record is still light, with no placing from three starts, but the repeated market respect gives her a genuine place chance if she returns in order.

Returns after six weeks following a 12th at Nakayama, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after fading from a position close enough to be competitive. His previous run at this venue was also only fair, finishing second last and beaten five and a half lengths. A better seasonal record and third-up fitness keep him in the place mix, but the 1800m record is thin for winning purposes.

Returns after three months off with stronger distance credentials than most of these, having recorded one win and five placings from 17 starts around 1800m. He was last of eight at Sapporo when last seen but was only beaten four lengths, and his record includes a placing from one start at this track. If he resumes near his better figures, he has enough substance to be a major player.

Returns after two months since a ninth at Sapporo that was better than it looks, beaten just under two lengths despite being sent out at big odds. The run before at Morioka was fair rather than threatening, but she was only beaten just over four lengths in COND company. The winless record is the obvious knock, yet the last-start margin says she is close enough to make a serious impact.

Comments

Returns after two months since a tenth at Sapporo in a Mdn, beaten just under nine lengths after racing just off the pace without launching a serious challenge. That followed a heavy defeat at Hakodate, so the recent form is difficult to recommend. Class and weight relief give him some chance to improve, but he looks more a place hope than a genuine winning threat.

Returns after two months since an 11th at this venue in a Mdn over 1600m, beaten just under four lengths after working home only fairly. His earlier second at this track was much better, beaten a neck despite being unwanted in the market. The step back to 1800m is a query given he is unplaced from one try at the distance, so he has to rediscover that peak run quickly.

Returns after five months off following a seventh at Hanshin, beaten just over six lengths at long odds after being close enough before fading. He had finished seventh at this venue in ALLOW grade the run prior, again beaten around six lengths. A placing from four starts at this track and distance is a small positive, but the recent win record is modest and others bring sharper form.

Returns after three months off having finished seventh at this venue, beaten just over four lengths at long odds and failing to finish it off. The longer-range profile is frustrating, with no win from 15 starts, but seven placings show he can run into the money when things fall his way. Given the lack of a winning edge, he profiles as a practical place hope rather than a strong top-end chance.

Returns after five months off following an 11th at Kyoto in ALLOW grade, beaten just over six lengths after giving himself too much to do despite making some late ground. He had also finished 11th at this venue the start prior, beaten just under ten lengths and unwanted in betting. With no placing from three tries at this track and distance, he has a difficult assignment fresh.

Had no impact at Nakayama last start, finishing 12th and beaten over 19 lengths after never looking likely on rain-affected ground. His previous Sapporo run is the key reference, beaten a nose by Idocrase after being pipped right on the post, and he also holds a recent edge over Win Il Neige from that race. The 1800m win record is a concern, but his best recent form is good enough to threaten.

Returns after two months since being well beaten on Niigata Dirt, where she was second last at big odds and dropped out badly. The start before on Tokyo Dirt was no better, finishing ninth and beaten over 12 lengths after conceding a huge start. She has won around 1800m, but the current campaign form is well below the level required to be competitive here.

Returns after four months off following a sixth at Kokura in a Mdn over 2000m, beaten three and a half lengths when she worked home evenly as one of the better-fancied runners. Her previous second at the same venue was stronger, closing well enough to be beaten two lengths. She is still searching for a win and is unplaced in two tries around 1800m, but her Kokura form gives her place claims.
